Oh dear: Ron Paul, animate chain email, has weighed in on L’Affaire Snowden. In an interview with the Fox Business Network (Fox Business Network: Yep, We’re a Channel. No, Not Sure Which One™), the former United States congressman/probable Jitterbug user said of PRISM pirate Edward Snowden: “I’m worried about, somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile.” (Snowden is still at large, most likely in Hong Kong.) Paul continued: “I mean, we live in a bad time where American citizens don’t even have rights and that they can be killed, but the gentlemen is trying to tell the truth about what’s going on.”

And because three’s a trend: we must note that a third Paul, the Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul who bears no known relation to the aforementioned Pauls, has not publicly speculated about Snowden’s possible motives nor the limitations of the surveillance state. We need a Paul tiebreaker, though, and Les Paul is unfortunately dead. Hmm: Robbie Paul, “former New Zealand rugby league player,” any desire to comment?
